The developers [believe](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/444#issuecomment-198199) that by not supplying fonts to the web visitors who need them, they are improving server performance. Of course the server load is only reduced when talking to a browser that does not have the needed fonts. The idiots could also simply arbitrarily deny service to users at random to get a performance increase. Obviously they have misunderstood the point of performance in the first place: availability!
